Would be nice if Scottrade became the "Leader" is trading platforms. I have suggested it multiple times and haven't even received a Hello - Goodbye - or Reply. If my simple mind can come up with a system (not the program) just a system then Scottrades software writers can/could write it. I want the ability to place long/short - with stops if one side triggers and all the others cancel. That is the "Ultimate" in trading platform execution. To make it simple: I want to submit a long and if it triggers it will then place a predetermined stop, and vice-versa with a short....all placed at the same time and when on triggers the others go away except for the stop. I know it can be done...So I am challenging Scottrade to take the lead! FBOS Gilbert, AZ
